I recently purchased two new (120 7200) drives that are giving me nightmares. I get this error message saying. An error occurred while creating the media file name.avi.
An error occured writing the file. Make sure you have write access to the file/folder and that there is enough free space.

I had a proble where I ripped a track form a cd to my new dedicated audio drive and the track would be distorted when I played it on a vegas video audio track. It took me a few days then I realized that the same song plays back just fine when I ripped it to the old drive (not my c drive. I can only render files uncompressed to this drive and I am out of space for a project that I am doing.

Any advice will be greatly appriciated.

Since you didn't mention you've tried it already, try reformatting them. Full format (not quick), NTFS of course. Maybe try a larger cluster size.

Have you tried a scan disk to check all is well on the drive

Since you have 4 hard drives and 2 optical drives, two units must not be on the motherbd IDE ports. Maybe knowing how all units are connected might help with the analysis of your problem.

How are all of those drives connected. Do you have an extra IDE card, what type? Are some firewire or USB? If so what version? Lets start with your config and see if we come up with any telltale ideas.

Yes details ... we need details. Starting with what OS. Some thing tells me you're gonna say Win98.
Then how drives are connected.
